What Would It Take To Get Better?

Do you ever wonder what it would take to get better at the work you do? Maybe you are a teacher thinking about how you could get your students more engaged with the material. Maybe you design web sites and you feel like you are stuck in a rut. Perhaps you have a business that is needing to go to the next level but your just not sure what that looks like let alone how to get up there.

I have been feeling a desire to renew my studio practice this winter. It has been a good year full of new projects and hard work which has yielded some pretty cool stuff and interesting experiences but it has also left me feeling like the edge of the plow is more than a little dull and dented.

I hope to read some good books about art making over the next few months. I even signed up for an online course yesterday towards improving my art career. I think a train trip to Chicago is in order. (Let me know if you want to go with.)

It makes me wonder what farmers do in the winter when the snow covers the fields?
